HP EliteDesk 705 G4 Mini Desktop Computer: AMD Quad-Core Ryzen 5 Pro 2400GE upto 3.8GHz, 8GB DDR4 RAM, 256GB SSD, Windows 10 Pro (Renewed)

My system came pretty well cleaned. It had something oily on part of the top, but that wiped off, though some had gotten into the dust screen so that had to be removed to clean. There were no scratches on the system, and everything seems in good working order.As most other reviews have mentioned, mine came with the Ryzen pro 5 2400g, which is a 65W part, vs. the 2400ge which is 35W TDP but lower clocked. The top is covered in mesh for better airflow, probably because the 2400g does get hot in this little machine. Running a stress test, I was able to get it up to 93C but the cooling system, in a room at 68F, was able to keep it there so it never throttled (which it should do if it gets to 95C) and maintained just under 3.6ghz on all 4 cores (the base clock). Stressing a single core, it will go up to 3.9ghz, so it could be that others who were having issues with performance might have some problem with their system.It came with 8GB of SK hynix DDR4 2666mhz RAM and a 256GB (older) Samsung PCI-E SSD. I got the SATA drive cage as well, which does have a fan for both its drive and the PCI-E drive that sits under the fan. I actually had a 16GB DDR4 3200mhz RAM set not being used, so I put that in and the system sees it as 2933mhz, which is the maximum RAM frequency supported for this CPU without overclocking, which this system does not do. So, I'd recommend at least picking up a second stick to get the benefits of dual channel which is supported, but if you buy all new RAM, I'd recommend picking up the faster stuff as well as it'll handle it.My system came with the HDMI module so it has 1 HDMI and 2 display ports. Accessories were a very generic USB wired keyboard, a very generic USB wired mouse, a mini USB wireless dongle and a mini USB bluetooth dongle. You can put a PCI-E wireless/bluetooth module in this system, so that might be a better option. Keep in mind that this system has antenna for the PCI-E wireless/bluetooth module, but does not come with the module, and you will most likely (I had to, someone else mentioned this as well) have to remove the motherboard to get to the antenna wires, as they seem to have been tucked underneath. To remove the motherboard, you have 4 screws plus the 3 that hold the heatsink onto the CPU. The problem here is that you shouldn't remove the heatsink without cleaning and reapplying thermal paste, so you basically will have to rebuild the system to install the wireless module properly.The power adapter this comes with has been mentioned at least once before. Mine was not a HP OEM power brick, but a generic one. It had the right barrel connector, but it's a 90W 19V 4.7A adapter. It appears the OEM adapter should be a 19.5V 4.62A, but finding the OEM 90W adapter is tough unless you want to spend a lot. My system does immediately power on when plugged in as others have mentioned, but you can turn it off and it will stay off, and seems to run ok on the generic adapter.One thing I think someone else mentioned, but the first generation Zen processors (Ryzen 1000 and 2000 series) are not on the Windows 11 supported CPU list, and you will be blocked from upgrading to Windows 11 on this machine. It does have TPM 2.0, so it's just the CPU that is blocking you. Microsoft does have instructions for getting around this, by entering a registry entry to tell the installer to allow unsupported CPUs, but Windows updates still will not let you upgrade directly. You'll need to download the installer/updater from Microsoft then run that. It does appear that upgrading from the installer works, though people were originally saying you would have to install fresh. Anyway, doing this, you have to agree that you are fine with possible issues and lack of driver support, so do it at your own risk I guess.

These are an awesome value. You can get these on Ebay for a little less, but they don't come with AC adapters and other important components. I was provided with a keyboard, mouse, AC adapter, and a USB wifi adapter.I have purchased 2, and the hardware configurations are different. The first had an added Displayport and a SATA SSD, the second had an added VGA port and an NVME.Overall they are very clean, and work fine. The Ethernet network devices on both had to be enabled for both of them, which was odd, but easy enough to solve. I use them as Linux servers In a rack and they are almost entirely silent.

I've been wanting to upgrade my Lenovo intel i7 ThinkCentre Mini PC to a newer Ryzen Mini for a while and this Refurb deal from StallionTek looked too good to be true . When it arrived I noticed right away that one of the back USB ports was clearly broken with the pins touching each other . I nearly sent it back right there , but they were out of stock and I couldn't set up a replacement so I decided that if there no other problems that I'd keep it .I separated the pins in the bad USB and put some electrical tape in it to keep it from shorting out and powered the PC on . It fired right up and wanted to update Windows so I went ahead and updated everything and checked the system specs to find that it was the same as most people reportedly received . A Ryzen 2400g , 256gb NVME SSD , 1x 8gb memory stick , an HDMI in the optional port , and has the HDD caddy for a SATA HDD as well which is great because I wanted to add a second HDD for storage . It does not have a wireless card in it , but it does have the antennas and an empty M.2 for one . The PC is fast and seems to be a happy little PC .I wanted to install a wireless card and put some Thermal Grizzly thermal paste on the processor so I had to completely disassemble the PC to get the antennae wires out from under the motherboard and got a good look at everything in the process . This thing is really clean inside , no dust at all . It already had brand new thermal paste on the APU which is really good to see . So as far as the refurb I would give it an 8 out of 10 , the bad USB port is the only thing that I can complain about , it really shouldn't have shipped like that . So close to perfect . With a few more upgrades it'll be a little beast . I have 32gb of DDR4 coming and will add a 2TB NVME in place of the 256gb and will end up adding a storage HDD sometime in the future as well . I assume that I just had bad luck with the USB port so I will recommend this product , it's great .**Edit - Installed the m.2 wireless and it works really well (Intel model# 9260NGW)Installed 2x 16gb (32gb total) G.Skill Ripjaws 2666 memory with no problemsInstalled 2TB Kingston NVME SSD and cloned the HDD to it with no problemsInstalled 2TB 2.5 SATA Seagate Barracuda HDDThis mini is certainly a step up from my old one , love it .

This was in perfect condition! Very nicely packaged with a charging cable and an extra mouse and keyboard. It was very easy to set up and clean. If you are buying this for a game server, then you don’t have to worry about the ssd card as this comes with a 256gb ssd already installed.
